10 Days vacation, No Bonus in US ..1.5% pay increment
Jul 31, 2022 - Senior Principal Consultant in New York, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Your check is deposited on time…That about it
Cons
10 days vacation, No Bonus in US. Average 1.5% pay increment. Make no mistake about it that Headstrong/Genpact relationship is with their Client and not with their employees…. Manager communication is horrible, Yearly review was given by manager I never spoke with. Any request or question takes weeks to get a reply…

Good place to work
Mar 12, 2021 - Principal Consultant in New York, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
They have lots of projects with different technologies and working for large financial clients. Provide good salary when you initially join.
Cons
I don't have much experience with their In house project as I was directly working with clients, when you work with client you don't have much exposure to company and might have impact to your career growth.

Pros

Bad salary and bad management

Pros
Headstrong was a great IT Consulting company with focus on Capital Markets Domain. After the global economic crisis strongly hit Headstrong, the company had to dilute its focus to hedge its risks. Since the focus is diluted, the rates charged to the clients had to be reduced too (along with Clients' themselves going through budget cuts). With this, the only way to realize profits was to cut costs, leading to employee dissatisfaction. Headstrong is still a great place to meet like minded Technology specialists and folks with strong Capital Markets business knowledge.
Cons
Due to the acquisition by Genpact, and the subsequent loss of erstwhile management, focus on IT in general has gone down. Due to the existing loss of bargaining position and a higher focus on profitability, especially through cost cuts, Headstrong is neither able to nurture, nor retain the talent. It is still a great place to work in a managerial position due to its unique challenges in Cost (Scope and Time remaining constant).

Pros
Contractors headstrong is place where you can end up with taking position and offer. They attract everyone by paying and numbers which is really great.
Cons
The numbers which they show its just exist on papers. Payment will not be given on time and the time you will be leaving company your payment will be gone on shelf like projects for months and when you will do follow up first no one will response for weeks and if they do they will say your hours are not right even you have worked and that's because you can't login into their oracle system to show them hours and they will do as they like. So be careful guys.... other companies like TCS, Wipro and Infosys who pay less but on time....
